All OK after another trip to the ER

Just wanted to let you all know that Andrea is doing fine, but she's tired.

This morning she felt pain in her leg again, along with fatigue, weakness that was so bad she could hardly stand up, a bit of a rash on her neck and torso, lightheadedness like she was going to faint, and some shortness of breath. After calling around to her doctors and waiting awhile for her calls to be returned, she went to the ER with Andy, Coley & Dr. Pat; Ashleigh & I met her there a bit later. They did a CT scan of her head which showed no bleeding, an x-ray of her lungs which was clear & clean, and blood tests that came back negative/normal. After consulting with Dr. Aaron Cutler there, we still had to wait 2-3 hours for her discharge papers to get her home, but she was in good spirits throughout. She often mentions how fortunate and blessed she is to have caught this early, to have such incredible support from her family and friends, to have good insurance, to have such a great job, and so on.
